LG has announced the launch of
its brand-new flagship device, the
LG G2.
LG G2 comes with a 5.2-inch full-
HD (1080x1920) display
impressive 423 pixels-per-inch
(PPI). It is powered by
Qualcomm's quad-core
Snapdragon 800 processor capable
of speeds up to 2.26GHz. The
device comes with 2GB RAM and
offers 16GB and 32GB storage
options.
The LG G2 comes with a 13.0-
megapixel rear camera with Optical
Image Stabilisation and a 2.1-
megapixel front shooter. LG's
latest flagship runs Android Jelly
Bean 4.2.2 and is powered by a
3,000mAh battery. LG G2 sports
dimensions 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9mm
and will be available in Black and
White colour options.
The LG G2 will be rolled out in
over 130 wireless carriers in the
next eight weeks starting in South
Korea followed by North America,
Europe and other key markets.
LG G2 coms with a unique design
that features the power buttons
and the volume rocker at the back
of the phone, below the rear
camera, instead of the sides of the
phone, as is usually the case. LG
believes this will work better on a
large phone like the G2. It also
comes with bezels as thin as
2.65mm.
Commenting on the launch of the
G2, Dr. Jong-seok Park, President
and CEO of the LG Electronics
Mobile Communications Company,
said, "Our definition of innovation
today is technology that truly
resonates with consumers. We
have always listened to and
learned from consumers in pursuit
of innovation. We took these
insights to new heights in
developing LG G2, the most
exciting and ambitious mobile
phone in our company's history."
LG G2 also comes with some
software features like Answer Me,
Plug & Pop, Text Link, Slide Aside,
and a Guest Mode. Answer Me
automatically answers the call
after lowering the ringtone when
the phone is raised to one's ear.
Plug & Pop recommends options
or related features to choose from
when the earphone or USB cable is
detected. Text Link allows
information embedded in text
messages to be selected and easily
saved in a memo or calendar and
searched on a map or the Internet.
Slide Aside enables easier multi-
tasking by simply "sliding" open
apps off to the side using a three-
finger swipe. Guest Mode is
designed to protects owner's
privacy by displaying only pre-
selected apps when guests access
the phone with a secondary unlock
pattern.
Also included is QuickRemote that
can remotely control popular home
entertainment devices, and also
learn from conventional remotes
and be customised to operate
multiple devices with flexible
layouts and keys.
